With congratulations, videos and dances. The name Kamala Harris dominated social media, where celebrities, politicians and all kinds of users celebrated that this Saturday she became the first woman elected to the vice presidency of the United States.
The video that she posted of the moment when she called her running mate, President-elect Joe Biden, on the phone to tell him “We did it! We did it Joe!” became the image of the day accumulating more than 26 million views on Twitter and another 12 million on Instagram, in just four hours.

The photo published by her husband, Doug Emhoff, in which she hugs Harris with the message “proud of you” also went viral on social networks among the sea of images, memes and videos that celebrated the new vice president, even characterized as a superheroine.

“‘Madam Vice President’ is no longer a fictional character”
The so far Democratic senator has just made history by becoming the first woman elected as vice president of the United States, but also the first of black and Asian roots to hold this position.
Until now, the character of Selina Meyer, played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus on the series ‘Veep’, was the closest thing to a female vice president the country had ever seen.
“‘Madam Vice President’ is no longer a fictional character,” Louis-Dreyfus tweeted alongside a picture of Harris.

The Internet was then filled with profiles, biographies and articles that confirmed reality: The United States will have a woman of color, the daughter of immigrants, in command of the country’s Vice Presidency.
“My vice president will be a black woman!” Actress Keke Palmer posted. “I say black because representation matters and as a child I have always looked for women in positions of power that resembled me.”
The young Malala Yousafzai, 23 years old and Nobel Peace Prize winner, gave Harris all the prominence of the news with a photograph of the two that was accompanied by congratulations.

The internet dances with Harris, the ‘wonder woman’
The spontaneity and charisma of Harris, 56, ended up doing the rest to make the internet explode.
Her longtime partner and California governor Gavin Newsom (both from San Francisco) celebrated her friend’s triumph with a video of the vice president dancing in the rain during a rally. With an umbrella and wearing his inseparable Converse sneakers, which he has become one of his symbols.

And it is that Harris dances are a genre of their own in the network of networks. For this reason, this Saturday past images were repeated ad nauseam in which she dances accompanied by dozens of girls at a cheerleading event and other moments in which the cameras have recorded her musical outbursts.
Also the euphoria in the streets of his native neighborhood in Oakland -area of San Francisco (California) – was translated into improvised dances.
Among other montages, Harris appeared characterized as a superhero: “Wonder Woman”. By chance, just 45 years ago, on the same day, the television series starring Lynda Carter premiered, bringing one of the first women with superpowers to the small screen.
